IMPROVEMENT IN NECKTIES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent NO 53,272, dated March 20, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, JAMES R. GLUXTON, of Russellville, in the county' ot' Brown and State of Ohio, have made new and useful Improve ments in Neckties; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe nature, construction, and operation of the saine, sufcient to enable one skilled in the art to which it appertaius to construct and use'the saine,'ret'erence being had to the accompanying' drawings, which is made part ot' this specification.

Figure l is a rear view. Fig. 2 shows the position oi' the tie while being attached. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the attaching .device. Fig. L.tis a side elevation and section, showing` the mode of attaching the bow to the pad by means of the staple.

My improvement consists of a method of securing the bow to the pad and of attaching the pad to the collar ot' the shirt.

The iirst is attained by passing the ends ot' the wire which is attached to the pad through the latter, so as to hook into the bow, and thereby attach the bow to the pad. The second object is attained byhinging a springpiece to the pad-frame, the said piece embracing the button of the shirt-collar while the tie is elevated, so as to permit the engagement ofthe spring-piece with the button to be observed by the wearer in looking in the glass, the tie being afterward folded down into its vpropell position.

of the necktie. o is the frame, which consists of a staple, and affords a pintle for the hinged ends, which pass through the pad a. and are bent over to clasp the bow b and attach it to the pad a..

The hinged portion d consists ot' an eye and a neck joined by side wires to the frame c by means ot' being bent around it, as seen in Figs. 3 and et, forming ajoint, so that, the necktie being inverted, as seen in Fig. 2, the springloop may be inserted over the button of the collars, the thread which attaches the button to the linen passing through the neck ot' the spring-loop. The neck being then brought to its proper position, the ends ot' the pad are tucked between the folds ot the collar7 and the tie is complete.

I claiml. The spring-piece d, which clasps the button ofthe collar, and is hinged to the staple c, constructed and operating substantially as described and represented.

2. The staple c, forming, by means ot' its hooking ends, the means of attachment ot the pad and bow, and also forming a pintle for the hinged spring-frame, substantially as described and represented.

rlhe above specitieation ot' my patent signed this 16th day oi' December, 1865.

JAMES R. OLUXTON.
